The coexisting rise of China and Central European economies in the early 2000s as respectively the “Factory of the World” and the “Factory of Europe” raises the question whether Central Europe has either benefited from, or been harmed by the rise of China. This thesis therefore investigates the impact of the China shock on employment levels in Central Europe between 2000 and 2014. Using the WIOD 2
The legislation concerning narcotics was introduced in Sweden in 1968, and it has come to change multiple times since. The purpose of the legislation though remains the same; Swedish politics’ goal is a society free from narcotics, and the government has condemned a zero tolerance towards narcotic substances. This study aims to provide a better understanding of the bridge between social and legal
A bidirectional serial link on-chip implementation is going to be assessed so as to set the option of using it as a replacement of the actual parallel interconnection used to transfer data between different memory banks in an embedded low-power memory unit. Asynchronous communication is the protocol selected and current mode pulse signaling is the technique used to transfer data. A 32-bit data pac
The purpose of this study is to shed light on the socio-cultural and economic norms and practices that influence the knowledge and use of contraceptives and family planning services. To go further, we explore the role of media and the impact of attitudes towards domestic violence. Focusing on Cameroon and Malawi, we review the economic development and evolution of key indicators of Sexual and Repr

Drawing from 17 rounds of harmonised census data, this paper explores the link between climate variability and internal migration across six Sub-Saharan African countries. This study uses high-resolution precipitation and temperature data to construct two sets of measures capturing climate variability, the intensity of climate anomalies and the exposure to climate extremes. Two complementary hypot
Supply Chain Management (SCM) has increasingly become the focus of many organisations in a vast array of industries. However, due to external environment pressures and the multitude of internal management options, firms experience difficulties in determining how to best manage a supply chain in order to create a competitive advantage and enable higher organisational performance. This thesis aims t
Alongside the emerging field of immunotherapy, with monoclonal antibody drugs at the forefront, radically reshaping medicine, the need for process and technology improvements that can lower drug development costs and bring better drugs to the market faster is increasing. One such process improvement being fast and efficient cloning strategies which enable moving into high-throughput formats. Tradi
Interneurons have been found to be important for normal cognitive function. Impairments to their growth or signaling have been indicated to be involved in the development of schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy. Defective functioning in GABA:ergic interneurons has been linked to undesired desynchronous firing in neural signals as a consequence of these interneurons firing too infrequently or not at
IKEA Industry has ambitious goals for increasing energy efficiency at the production sites. Energy monitoring systems are therefore an important tool towards fulfilling those goals. The purpose of this master thesis is to get an overview and map the current situation at the production sites. Furthermore, the aim is to give recommendations and produce methods that can help organise the energy work.
Många barn i Sverige tillbringar en stor del av sina dagar på förskola där många av deras sociala erfarenheter och utveckling äger rum.

Barnen härmar de vuxnas beteende, vilket gör att pedagoger på en förskola besitter en vi

Syftet med denna studie är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur aktivitetsbaserade kontor påverkar identitetsaspekter för anställda under övergångsperioden. För att kunna uppnå detta syfte behöver vi skapa en bild av hur människor uppfattar aktivitetsbaserade kontor under övergångsperioden och hur identitetsaspekter kan vara en viktig del under denna period. Studien har en tolkande och abduktiv ansats
